2. To clear any values present in the offsets file, press the [OFFSET SETTING] key on the FANUC data panel. From the displayed menu at the base of the screen, press Softkey: [OFFSETS], followed by Softkey [OPRT]. Use Softkey: [RIGHT ARROW] to toggle through options and press Softkey: [clear], followed by Softkey: [ALL]. This will zero all the values registered in the offsets table.
4. Press the [OFFSET SETTING] key on the FANUC data panel. Use Softkey: [RIGHT ARROW] to toggle through options and press Softkey: [W.SHIFT]. Use the [CURSOR ARROW] keys on the FANUC data panel to highlight the values to change. Enter a value of ‘zero’ on the edit line and press Softkey: [INPUT] to clear each value.
6. Use the [Tool index dial] and [Tool select] button on the lower FANUC operators panel to change to the reference tool (this will be tool number1). Press the [SPDL CW] key on the main FANUC operators panel. Using the [AXIS] keys in [JOG] mode, or the handwheel in [MPG] mode, touch on the end of the work and face off. Press [SPDL STOP] on the main FANUC operators panel to stop the spindle.
7. Press the [OFFSET SETTING] key on the FANUC data panel. Use Softkey: [RIGHT ARROW] to toggle through options and press Softkey: [W. SHIFT]. Use the [CURSOR ARROW] keys on the FANUC data panel to highlight the Z ‘measurements’ value. Enter a value of ‘zero’ on the edit line and press Softkey: [INPUT]. The Z work shift value is now set. Press the [SPDL CW] key on the main FANUC operators panel. Using the [AXIS] keys in [JOG] mode, or the handwheel in [MPG] mode, turn an outside diameter, moving away in the Z axis only. Press [SPDL STOP] on the main FANUC operators panel to stop the spindle. Measure the outside diameter just turned.
8. Press the [OFFSET SETTING] key on the FANUC data panel. Use Softkey: [RIGHT ARROW] to toggle through options and press Softkey: [W.SHIFT]. Use the [CURSOR ARROW] keys on the FANUC data panel to highlight the X ‘measurement’ value. Enter the value of ‘the outside diameter just turned’ on the edit line and press Softkey: [INPUT]. The X work shift value is now set.
10. Use the [tool index dial] and [Tool Select] button on the lower FANUC operators panel to change to the next tool. Using the [AXIS] keys in [JOG] mode, or the handwheel in [MPG] mode, gently touch on the end of the work.
11. Press the [OFFSET SETTING] key on the FANUC data panel. Press Softkey: [OFFSET] followed by Softkey: [GEOM]. Use the [CURSOR ARROW] keys on the FANUC data panel to the highlight the Z value for the required tool number. Press [Z] followed by the value required (usually zero) and press Softkey: [OPRT] followed by Softkey: [MEASURE]. Using the [AXIS] keys in [JOG] mode, or the handwheel in [MPG] mode, gently touch on the outside diameter of the work.
12. Press the [OFFSET SETTING] key on the FANUC data panel. Press Softkey: [OFFSET] followed by Softkey: [GEOM]. Use the [CURSOR ARROW] keys on the FANUC data panel to highlight the X value for the required tool number. Press [X] followed by the value required (usually the ‘measured’ diameter) and press Softkey: [OPRT] followed by Softkey: [MEASURE].
13. Use the [CURSOR ARROW] keys on the FANUC data panel to high light any tool radius/ orientation values for the required tool number. Enter the value required and press Softkey: [INPUT].
